I thought FFVI was really effective with what it was able to convey with it's sprites and lack of voice acting. Locke's desperation trying to revive Rachel, Celes's dispair when you let Cid die and her act of attempted suicide, and themes such teenage pregnancy(Katarin and Duane), the different facets of what "love" means(love between those you care for, relationships that go through rocky situations and trust issues, as well that true love is not always love between "lovers" but can be anything from brotherly bonds as well as a woman's unconditional love towards a town of orphans). One of the many reasons it's still my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time. I don't think Square has came close to attempting to address similar issues with the FF series since then(maybe to play it more safe).

You should watch this video on Youtube:

It's a long one, but so good. XD

Yeah, what the creators of Final Fantasy 6 were able to accomplish with a few megabytes of space only becomes more impressive as time goes by, while most of the following games in the series just played it increasingly safe, relying on cutting edge visuals and style rather than a real soul. Heck the last (imo) really great game in the series, IX, was originally going to be a spinoff instead of a main series game. Call me crazy but I think the last vestiges of the real Squaresoft ended when Sakaguchi left, and I don't just mean the name change.

The last 2 pics crisis uploaded really made me laugh!
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

And air dash too. Just how strong/advanced is that power suit of his anyway?
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Since I've never played any Fire Emblem games...

Can anyone confirm if this is for real?

It's been years  but I believe this is when Eliwood and company are about to  enter bern IIRC a chapter or two later you get harken or karel with those garbs on.
